Hi, I’m Cody—founder of For The Core.
I’m a NASM Certified Personal Trainer, Nutrition Coach, and Wellness Coach—but more importantly…
I used to be the person who felt completely uncomfortable in fitness spaces.
I was overweight, anxious, and honestly intimidated to ask for help. When I finally did, I felt misunderstood—like trainers were pushing goals I didn’t even want.
I didn’t want to be “shredded.”
I just wanted to feel better, be healthier, and not hate how I felt in my own body.
Over time, I lost 100 pounds—and more importantly, I learned how to build confidence, consistency, and a healthier relationship with fitness.
That’s why I created For The Core.
A place for people who feel intimidated, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start.
A place where you won’t be judged, rushed, or pushed into unrealistic expectations.
I now help beginners build confidence, lose weight, and create sustainable habits—whether that’s from home or in a gym at your own pace.
You don’t need to be “fit” to start.
You just need a place that actually understands you.
I’m looking forward to talking to and meeting all of you that want to join or to see what For The Core is all about.
Welcome to For The CORE!
